    The help me get better thread

    I've been away from mountain bikes for 15 years. The 5 years before that it was my life, I rode 3+ times per week and got so into downhill I moved to Whistle, BC for over a year and got to enjoy two full DH seasons there and a lot of great Northshore Freeriding. In my time off I stayed busy on...

    Why do we call members with 1 post "well known"?

    Is it a forum quirk? An attempt to make people feel more at home by treating them like they have been around for ages the first day they show up? I've noticed it a few times now, definitely not important, but always strikes me as odd that the only thing we can think of saying about someone...

    Answered Can I use a Shimano Hyperglide+ chain with a SRAM 11sp chainring?

    I just destroyed my SRAM 11sp rear derailleur today which was all the excuse I needed to swap to Shimano SLX chainring and XTR chain, along with the AXS derailleur and shifter. The only question I had was, should I swap my chainring? It's a single front chainring, not sure if there is anything...

    Back to riding after 15 years away, 2020 Levo first week thoughts

    Hello from Colorado. I just picked up a 2020 Levo Comp, thought I would share my initial impressions of it along with some questions I had. Overall, love it. My last bike, 15 years ago was a Specialized Enduro SX Trail and while I've had many brands and models of bikes, Specialized bikes have...
